Took me by suprise!

Unlike most other kdramas I watch, I went into Daily Dose of Sunshine with zero expectations. I literally just watched the short Netflix trailer and started watching. I also hadn't seen anyone talk about this drama so I basically knew nothing about how it was received either. And let me tell you, I was surprised how much I enjoyed this.

The highlight of the drama for me was the friendships between the staff. My favorite scenes was honestly when they where all gathered. Overall I really enjoyed all side-characters in this drama. The show didn't actually focus too much on the romance, which was fine by me. I did really enjoy both romantic couples in this though, nothing dragged on for too long, and there was no over-dramatic moments.

Now when it comes to how the show handles mental health, I actually think they did a decent job. Look, mental health in real life is bleak, boring and never progresses linear in anyway, and no one wants to see that on screen. Yes, the show deals with mental health in a very surface level way and certain things in the show doesn't really make that much sense. But i'll still give some probs for at least giving it a go and clearly at least caring enough to give a somewhat good representation of it.

One thing that I didn't love about the show was the main female character. Now, I didn't dislike her necessarily, but she was a bit too "I'm just a uwu nice girl that never wants to hurt even a bugs feelings". There where certain points in the show where I just wanted to scream in her face to grow a backbone tbh.

Overall, this was just such a nice evening show to watch. Filled with both sad and euphoric moments, there wasn't a boring moment in this show for me. It does have some flaws, but nothing major in my eyes. If I could, I would give this show a 8.3/10, but will have to settle for a 8.5/10.
